PERIN-SALBREUX Louis Lié (1753-1817), A LADY READING IN A GARDEN, MINIATURE PORTRAIT CIRCA 1790
Beautiful miniature portrait by Louis-Lié Périn-Salbreux, dating of the end of the 18th. century, showing a Lady reading in a garden. Miniature signed below on the left : Périn. Even there, Périn knew how to give to his model, a smile full of kindness, an expression of unique serenity, talent that he shares with his great friend the painter Alexandre Roslin. The garden is, by its virtuoso technique, a foretaste of the future impressionism. The miniature rose on its snuff box double face of origin. In the lapel of the box is a work of embroidery on silk, undoubtedly, a needlework of the portrayed lady, mounted up with the portrait on the same snuff box to make the present even more personal.TECHNIQUE:
